 Now, talking about another challenging work setting, which is criminal justice system. So, we will be talking about the ethical issues in criminal justice system. As you all know that different mental health practitioners are being hired in correctional settings where we see that the concept of forensic psychology comes in. We see that forensic psychologists are working in criminal justice system. They are working in AC rehabilitation services, where the inmates, the caddies, to improve their behaviors, their skillset, to work on them, a correctional setting is created where they can be improved. So, in this situation, a lot of expertise is required by forensic psychologists. Their duties are designed in a very different way, which they have to perform. What they have to do basically is the range of duties which include evaluating and classifying inmates. Now, how do you classify the caddies? You classify them according to their degree of nature of crime. There may be some individuals who have done a small crime. Some will be criminals of moderate level and some will be criminals of high level. Classifying them on the basis of their nature of crime is one assignment which is being given to the forensic psychologist. Then they further evaluate them. Do they have any shame and guilt after doing that act? Do they consider themselves just and righteous after doing that act? Do they have brutally killed someone? How much heinous crime they have committed and what level of brutality they can commit. That is something which basically gives you an idea about the human psyche. If they are released, what level of murder they can expect from the individual. So, these evaluations are done by forensic psychologists and their evaluations determine that although law is important, it also determines how much punishment they should be given. The forensic psychologist's report also contributes a very important detail in the entire profile. Along with the law, it is also seen what is the action of the human being after that crime. Conducting psychotherapy and crisis intervention. A lot of people come to different cases. Some need psychotherapy, some need intervention. This is also done by forensic psychologists. Participating in the personal selection process. After that, you have to put different people in rehabilitation centres. Forensic psychologists also give them training and they also give their input in hiring. Then providing the employee assistant services. How to deal with the inmates in jail? What should be the system for their education? Which people are interested in further studies? Do they need a better environment? Do they feel that there is still a way to be a good human being? Do they need to work? Are there any skills that should be put into such skill training programmes? Forensic psychologists also assist in this work. Serving as consultant for institutional decisions and policies related to the correctional climate. There is a very strange climate in jail. How to make the climate a good reform centre? Do they need to be reformed in order to improve the behaviour of people? All these work are done by forensic psychologists with the help of their administration. The key ethical issues involve the degree to which a mental health professional's ethical standards and professional roles become accompanied by given any correctional setting. For example, if we look at this case, a psychologist works at a prison as a correctional counsellor. During an individual treatment session, a new inmate reports that an escape attempt involving taking hostages will soon take place. In a one-to-one session, a new inmate reports that a hostage will take place within a few days. He reports that he will not leak this information because it will be very dangerous for him. The rest of the fellow inmates will kill me or my security will be in danger. In this situation, what should a correctional counsellor do? Of course, in those conditions, confidentiality is important, but we just cannot do it to hide that information. That information will be given to relevant authorities and to protect that individual, it will be separated from the rest of the inmates. So this is how the setting of the correctional centre works. A forensic psychologist plays his role here in this way. Then, a mental health professional facing such decision might have an obligation to warn certain potential victims. Of course, as I said, it is important to tell them that a hostage is planned to be stopped here. As a psychologist, his responsibility is to protect that inmate, to separate the rights and welfare of the inmates. So to deal with such issues, a mental health prediction should clarify their professional and legal obligation with prison authorities relative to their expectations. Whenever any inmate gets confidential information from a forensic psychologist, it is obligatory for them to tell their prison authorities about whether such an act or a special class inmate is planning these things against the authorities or to damage other people. Or a scene like this can be created to benefit them. And simultaneously, they should clarify the limits of their role and nature of their relationship as well. And wherever an inmate needs sympathy or empathy, they have to give it duelly. But it is right to use the information from that inmate. If he has any irrelevant information, it is not necessary that he should tell the authorities. But if he is the kind of person to which the state or the law might be in danger, then it is very important to reveal the information there. And they should never surrender their professional integrity to competing pressure of work sites. Or a forensic psychologist like any other psychologist should never compromise on their competence just because they are being under pressure and they have a lot of work to do. Anyhow, their competence cannot be undermined by their professional work because in all the roles, ethical issues are important. In all the roles, services are important. But when we talk about forensic psychologists, this even becomes more important. And the specific character of a forensic psychologist, because he is directly attached to the law, becomes more important.
